I will one day, I’ll probably make it a playthrough or something. But for the next while or so, I’ll be hoarding.

A new tool in the arsenal - Get Ready for the Flame Tank!
Attention, General!
Clad in heavy armor, a new opponent approaches! Based on the historical Churchill Crocodile, this fearsome foe excels at storming fortified positions and fighting unarmored opponents.
This tank can take a beating and still push forward. Its front-mounted flamethrower disregards the protective embrace of fortifications and unleashes devastating hellfire upon unarmored foes and buildings. This makes the Flame Tank the ultimate weapon for breaching enemy defensive lines.
But be careful when deploying your Flame Tank, it is weak against heavy armored units and air attacks. So make sure to give the newest addition to your arsenal adequate protection!
The Churchill Crocodile variant will be available for allied doctrine players. All non-allied doctrines will have access to captured variants. Do not worry, they are just as lethal as the original and come with the same capabilities and stats!
New Deployment Mechanic
The Flame Tank also comes with a new deployment mechanic. It can not be researched and produced like a traditional unit, but instead will be deployed via new Unit Cards from your inventory. Unit Cards will be available as a reward for advancing through Operations. Besides the new Flame Tank, participating in Operations will also reward you with other units already existing in Call of War. For balancing reasons, deployment of units from Unit Cards come with a set of rules:
- A minimum province morale is needed to deploy.
- Once deployed, the unit enters mobilization and cannot move or attack for a while, just defend.
- Unit levels will match the unit's research level in the game round.
- You can only deploy units in your provinces.
- You cannot deploy in provinces under attack.
- You cannot deploy over units that are mobilizing.
- Units deployed from Unit Cards must comply with the day of availability.
- The day of availability is tied to the level of the Unit Card. Higher level cards are rarer, but also more powerful. For example the Flame Tank becomes available on the following days: [list]
- Level 1 -> Day 4
- Level 2 -> Day 8
- Level 3 -> Day 13
The new tasks and Unit Cards added to Operations make this a rewarding feature for every player in Call of War. So if you have yet to give Operations a try, now is the best time to get started!
Flame Tank speedround livestream
Excited and want to know more? Join us for our livestream on the 7th of October, broadcast live on the official Bytro youtube channel! We’ll play a flaming hot 144x speed round to showcase the new tank, Unit Cards and Operations!

35 kills in one day with the flammenpanzer

They definitely need to add an achievement for that thing. That might drive hoarders to produce them...

I'm just saying that any form of axis/soviet 'marines' were in no way as historically significant as allied/japanese.Carking the 6th wrote:
I think Italian/German ones invaded Malta, right? Also Denmark and Norway?Wikipedia even says the Germans have a force:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seebataillon
So it should be doable. For the Soviets…
The Naval Infantry conducted over 114 landings, most of which were carried out by platoons and companies. In general, however, Naval Infantry served as regular infantry, without any amphibious training. They conducted four major operations: two during the Battle of the Kerch Peninsula, one during the Caucasus Campaign and one as part of the Landing at Moonsund, in the Baltic.

Axis ones invaded Norway though, I think they are important. Sure Soviets didn’t, but still, it’s alt history lol.

Of course. We now just have to wait for Flame Tank doctrine variants.

Ye a buncha units IRL were only used by one side. I think a buncha Pan-Asian tech was either experimental or barely used in the actual war but are represented as functioning units in CoW. Same theory should apply to marines.Carking the 6th wrote:

They can't make those until they are producible. Imagine an Allied FT, barely any benefits: no production buff (can't be produced), no research buff (can't be researched) and unclear if FTs can be upgraded or not. Meanwhile, they have their -10% speed debuff, which makes it pretty bad. They could, I suppose, alter it so FTs have like faster mobilization speed for Allies but they'd have to update doctrine balancing. Comintern would be weaker with no spammable capability, Axis would actually have an advantage, since its the same cost to deploy 1 FT, regardless of doctrine (if doctrine differences were implemented, I mean), so Axis FTs would be significantly better than Comintern FTs. Pan-Asian FTs only suffer from reduced HP ig, so it doesn't really change much for that doctrine.Taffyta Muttonfudge wrote:

With the possible exception of Nazi Germany, whom I can't recall off the top of my head, every military represented had marines._Pyth0n_ wrote:

The Japanese had the IJN Special Landing Forces, who participated in the Battle of Shanghai among other campaigns.
The US had the US Marines and the British had the Royal Marines ... no comment needed.
The Soviets did indeed have Marine Infantry, and in fact that picture the World Herald uses (This one) is of Soviet Naval Infantry raising the flag after capturing Port Arthur from the Japanese in 1945.

An arms race is important for a war obviously.
"Hate, union, freedom, justice, equality, war, peace, violence, blood. It is but a perfect mixture on destiny and our lives. It is for the mass we trust and for the mass we contribute, or to selfishly to personal greed we follow, it is up to your choices on what mixture you want. My mixture is a bit of everything with madness and humility in it, the virtues will black and sinful, just like I per say." - Kaiser Luther Ernst Willienburg.

Mb mb didn't know, but if in the case there wasn't a certain IRL representation of any units, then CoW shud take the liberty and use some experimental tech or something to fill that void.Lord Crayfish wrote:
